Autumn Winifred Oliver does things different
Autumn Winifred Oliver Does Things Different takes place in Cades Cove, Tennessee in 1934. Eleven year old Autumn can't wait to get the heck out of the little cove and move to Knoxville but when her plans get delayed, she has some interesting adventures. This delightful little gem is great to read before you take an actual trip to The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. This national park is the only one formed from privately owned land and this book tells the story of what happened to the people that lived there before the government came in.
I loved reading this book several years ago and I recently re-read it to my little cousin before we made a trip to the Smoky Mountains and she also loved it. Autumn's quirky adventures keep you on your toes and you can also learn some history about the national park without even realizing it. Autumn herself is fictional but many of the stories about her in the book did actually happen to real people that did live in the cove. I highly recommend this book, and I will read it again. It will really give you some perspective on how the park was formed and what life was like before it was declared government land. I give it 5 stars.
